More From Charles Francis Richter

My reporting in africa wouldn't be political per se, but it's certainly the point of my reporting - and of a lot of other reporters i know: human suffering is bad, and if reporting stories about it brings it to light and someone does something, that's part of the point of journalism. and it's a thin line between that and activism, and you have to be careful about that.
Political Suffering Journalism
Who are you?" violet asked. it is confusing to fall asleep in the daytime and wake up at night. "what are you doing with uncle monty's reptiles?" klaus asked. it is also confusing to realize you have been sleeping on stairs, rather than in a bed or sleeping bag. "dixnik?" sunny asked. it is always confusing why anyone would choose to wear a plaid shirt.

All appearances have a determinate magnitude (the relation of which to another assignable). the infinite does not appear as such, likewise not the simple. for the appearances are included between two boundaries (points) and are thus themselves determinate magnitudes.

Distinguish between the work and the job title. when i was leaving school in the early 1970s, many people wanted to be journalists, carrying out investigative reporting for print newspapers. print newspapers may not exist in twenty years. but good thinking and good writing about issues that need to be reported and investigated will always be needed; but where this happens, what it is called, and who pays for it may be quite different than could have been envisioned by the great journalists of the past.

In the eight years i worked at newspapers, even during a little stretch when i was a film critic, i was never, ever doing exclusively criticism. in the daily newspaper world, much more value is placed on reporting than on thinking abstractly about art. the eight years i was in newspapers, i was mainly a journalist in the conventional sense, and just doing criticism when there were opportunities.

The most remarkable feature about the magnitude scale was that it worked at all and that it could be extended on a worldwide basis. it was originally envisaged as a rather rough-and-ready procedure by which we could grade earthquakes. we would have been happy if we could have assigned just three categories, large, medium, and small; the point is, we wanted to avoid personal judgments. it actually turned out to be quite a finely tuned scale.

It is crystal clear to me that if arabs put down a draft resolution blaming israel for the recent earthquake in iran it would probably have a majority, the u.s. would veto it and britain and france would abstain.

I find myself wanting to make music at the dining room table or in the bedroom - i'm kind of a mobile writer, so i sort of move around the house. but the attic is definitely where i can make the most noise. while everyone on the lower floors screams 'earthquake!' but no! it's just my bass!

God's voice was not in the earthquake, not in the fire, nor the storm, but it was in the whispering breezes.

We learn geology the morning after the earthquake, on ghastly diagrams of cloven mountains, upheaved plains, and the dry bed of the sea.
